Katie Couric Part II: The Perfect Face for Radio?

Stalwart Boston radio station WBZ-AM (1030), starting tonight, and every weeknight thereafter, will air the initial segment, usually 10 minutes in length, of the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric at 6:30 p.m.

WBZ will resume its usual news format following the portion of  the Couric newscast.  Additionally, Couric will discuss the day's top stories each Wednesday with WBZ-AM  host Diane Stern. WBZ's sister station in New York, WCBS-AM, already airs the Couric segment.

Sounds like a great opportunity for Bostonians to hear Morgan Freeman on the radio (see previous "TUOL" post).
